When watching the evening news you can be led to believe that most
slip and fall claims are bogus and nothing more than a scam
designed to fleece business owners and the insurance industry for
money. But not all Plaintiffs are scam artists, and not all victims
are seeking to cash in on their injury. Falls can affect each of
us. The next victim could be your mother, your brother, your spouse
or child...and oh yes, even you! The truth of the matter is, each
year millions of personal injury lawsuits are filed by victims of a
slip, trip and fall accidents, most of which are settled out of
court. However, over the past decade there has been a noticeable
rise in the average settlement as well as jury verdicts. As an
expert witness, Russell J. Kendzior has been retained in more than
700 slip, trip, and fall lawsuits and has now compiled over 50 of
his top cases in Floored! Rather than debate the truth behind slip,
trip and fall litigation Kendzior sets the record straight and
provides the reader with a behind the curtain view of the people
filing these lawsuits and the companies being sued. This book is a
great resource that explains what can be done to prevent the injury
and thus the lawsuit through the eyes of a safety expert and
stories of real-world victims.
Slip-and-fall accidents are a growing problem. The total cost of
these accidents now approaches 80 billion dollars each year, and
that number is expected to double within the next decade. In Falls
Aren't Funny: America's Multi-Billion Dollar Slip-and-Fall Crisis,
author Russell J. Kendzior provides a comprehensive look at one of
the most pervasive yet seldom addressed problems facing our world
today. The book's three parts explore slips-and-fall accidents
themselves, what causes them, and what can be done to prevent them.
Kendzior begins by examining the financial costs, the industries
hardest hit by slips and falls, and the heightened risk to the
elderly population. He then looks at the causes for the numerous
slip-and-fall accidents and injuries, from inadequate floor care to
improper footwear, and the contributions of the insurance, legal,
and manufacturing industries and how they worsen the problem.
Finally, he outlines what can be done to prevent slip-and-fall
accidents, and how everyone from manufacturers, to property owners,
to the general public can help to reverse the trend of this
increasingly expensive and dangerous problem. The book is replete
with stories of real slip-and-fall accidents and injuries,
up-to-date statistics, illustrative charts, and tips for
prevention. It is comprehensive, dealing with all aspects of
slip-and-fall accidents, their causes, and methods of prevention,
while also being accessible and entertaining. It is an informative
and much needed book for all managers, safety professionals,
attorneys, business and property owners, and anyone else concerned
with one of the nation's fastest growing safety crises.
